The long and short of this intervention is that there is democratic apologia in Nigeria, by which is meant that the notion of ...

Artificial intelligence has just cracked a problem that has frustrated condensed matter theorists for decades, turning a long-standing maze in frustrated magnet physics into a solved benchmark. By ...

Neural and computational evidence reveals that real-world size is a temporally late, semantically grounded, and hierarchically stable dimension of object representation in both human brains and ...

Gravity used to be the most down-to-earth of ideas, the thing that kept apples falling and planets in line. Now a growing ...

Objectives To explore the levels of health-related functioning during pregnancy and postpartum and its association with non-severe maternal morbidities. Design An observational longitudinal study.

The next step in the evolution of generative AI technology will rely on ‘world models’ to improve physical outcomes in the real world.

Step aside, LLMs. The next big step for AI is learning, reconstructing and simulating the dynamics of the real world.

These are the LLMs that caught our attention in 2025—from autonomous coding assistants to vision models processing entire codebases.

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. Here’s a test for infants: Show them a glass of water on a desk. Hide it behind a wooden board. Now move the board toward the glass. If ...

A research paper proposes a fully physically realized model for warp drive. This builds on an existing model that requires negative energy—an impossibility. The new model is exciting, but warp speed ...

Physical activity has emerged as one of the most potent behavioral interventions influencing brain function, learning, memory, and a wide range of cognitive ...

Over the past decade, the intersection of artificial intelligence and public policy research has been dramatically influenced by the evolution of large ...
